After The One, Season Finale

The insta-love.
The perfect couple.
The enchanted fairy tale.

The concept of
‘happily ever after’ on reality TV is beautiful, but it’s complete B.S.

I mean, I get the
appeal.

The One is the most
watched reality TV dating show because it sells the idea that two people
“randomly” handpicked by producers will fall in love and ride off into the
sunset. We are expected to believe that after having a group of women embarrass
themselves for the affection of a man on national television, the bachelor and
the chosen one fall in love and they live happily ever after.

Let’s be honest.

Shows like The One are
really about fantasy romance and must-see entertainment—not happily ever
afters. That’s why the creators and producers don’t show what happens after the
exotic getaways, lavish lifestyles, and over-the-top proposals. Even though
reality TV relationships never last, they want us to buy into the fairy tale.

Truth is… when the
cameras stop rolling, the number one killer of reality TV couples is real life.

Women are pitted
against each other to compete for the affection of a man they "fall in
love" with after a week or two.
I call B.S.
It is complete crap.

So when my best
friend, Koko, was hired as a makeup artist o the set of the most popular
reality dating show, The One, I teased her mercilessly.
She told me that if I didn't stop teasing her, she would get me back.
And she did...
Which is how I ended up as a contestant on The One.
